Presumably they like other liberal white people, but not whites in general. This is unprecedented, does not occur among other groups, and increases as leftism increases. Cremieux has an amazing set of graphs on this one. The data is almost too clean. Sometime between 2012-2016, white leftists decide they don't like (do they hate?) other white people, with a corresponding rise in how much they like everyone else. We can explain disliking that so many other white people voted for Trump, but deciding that Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have suddenly improved does not have a clear explanation. In what way do they think that black woman 2020 is an upgrade over black woman 2000? Without knowing their motives clearly, it seems that hating badwhites has become their overriding motive.
I would be very curious what the numbers are for Jews, who seem to have had an increasing split over the last decades. I have said, oversimplifying, that for many Jews liberalism has become their real religion, and the last two decades have not contradicted that. I do very much wonder if October 7 has created a shift in either direction.

That shows a significant drop by non-liberal whites also. Same media ?
A majority white nation that elected and reelected a black (identifying) President can not almost by definition be considered racists but social justice warriors always double down
Similarly, I get the impression that the overriding motive for conservatives, especially as you get to the more extreme side, is not this or that plank of a conservative platform, but hatred of liberals. It becomes just Hatfields vs McCoys.
As for Jews, liberals reflexively root for the underdog. When Jews look like the underdog, they'll root for the Jews. When Jews look like--or are made to look like--they are oppressing someone else, liberals root against Jews. And suddenly 2000 years of antisemitism is let off its leash to play.
I think both of those have significant value. One of the things Trump supporters used to like was that he "pwned the libs." Makes me crazy.
